This user account is a bot operated by Davidpk212 (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |
Hello, I am a bot helping to include more information about lots of books on Wikipedia, using inormation from Amazon.com. I am maintained by Davidpk212 and am run by being given a list of ISBNs on my to-do list and then getting the name and synopsis information from Amazon. The plot section is given the appropriate stub tag, along with the article. Other things I do include checking if the book in question already has an article, although due to naming inconsistencies, this is not always perfect.
Other information about me:
- I run in Python.
- I use the pywikipedia framework.
- I am always run manually, roughly once every week.
- I take a 2 second break between tasks to reduce server hog. (although my owner may choose to override this if there is a particularly long list of tasks)
- Sometime in the future I may turn into a spambot if I get angry!
If you need to contact my owner, e-mail david pk 212 @ g mail . com. (without the spaces)
